flop check with JJ

I had JJ in the cutoff in an online 30 60 game. It was folded to me. I openraised and was called only by the big blind.

The flop came Ace-Queen-Ten rainbow. The big blind checked, and I checked.

Sorry. This isn't a terrible check, by any means. You can check/call this all the way down without much fear of letting him draw to a better hand. I usually bet and then check the turn, figuring I save .5BBs by doing so.

So long as you'll call if he bets the turn thats good. You are inducing a bluff?

I'm definitely not folding this one, no matter what comes.

My plan was to save money in case he had me beat, and to possibly win something if I was ahead.

I don't understand checking this flop. Are you worried about getting outplayed? If I were BB and determined to outplay a PFR, I'd wait for a better spot than when the board is A Q T rainbow! So I'd bet, if he c/rs, I'd call and fold turn UI. If he calls I'd bet turn and check river UI. If he ever decides to donk, I fold. But maybe I'm weak/tight.
